Cricket Betting at 6sixs — Bet on All Formats from T20 to Test
BPL, IPL or international cricket — 6sixs offers betting on all types of matches. This page covers everything from understanding markets to live betting.
Cricket's Three Formats and Major Tournaments
Cricket is played in three main formats — T20, ODI and Test. Each format has its own pace and character, so the betting markets behave differently as well.
T20: The fastest format. Runs fluctuate a great deal in a twenty-over match. BPL (Bangladesh Premier League) and IPL are the two most popular tournaments in this format. The T20 World Cup brings the entire cricket world together every two years.
ODI: Strategy plays a bigger role in betting on this fifty-over format. Live odds tend to be most interesting around the middle overs of an innings.
Test: A five-day match. Swing, pitch conditions and weather all combine to keep odds shifting continuously. The ICC Test Championship is currently the most important competition in Test cricket.
6sixs pays special attention to Bangladesh Tigers matches. The number of betting markets increases during the BPL season, and live betting is most active during the T20 World Cup.
Beyond Cricket — Football and Other Sports
Alongside cricket, 6sixs also offers football betting. Football has many types of markets open based on half-time or full-time results — match winner, correct score, both teams to score, and more. Unlike cricket, a draw is a real outcome in football, so you bet on three options.
In limited-overs cricket, a draw does not normally happen — so betting markets are straightforward. In Test cricket, however, a draw is possible, which makes the odds more complex. Just as in football and other sports, live betting is growing in popularity in cricket too.

6 Popular Betting Markets
Each cricket match has many types of markets. The cards below briefly explain the most commonly used markets on 6sixs.
Match Winner
The simplest market — which team will win? In T20 you choose between Team A and Team B. Odds are usually split between two options.
T20 ODIToss Winner
Which team will win the toss — odds for this market are usually nearly equal for both sides. A good option for a short-term bet.
All FormatsTop Batsman
Which batsman will score the most runs? You can bet separately for each team or on the top batsman of the match overall.
SpecialTotal Runs Over/Under
Will the total runs in the match be above (over) or below (under) a set number — in this market you only need to estimate the run total.
T20 ODIMulti Bet
Betting on multiple matches or markets at the same time. If all selections win, the return is much higher, but if even one loses, everything is lost — see the odds section below for more details.
Multiple MarketsOver by Over / Powerplay Runs
How many runs will be scored in a specific over or powerplay — this market suits you if you prefer to focus on a short period of play.
Live T20How to Read Odds — Understanding the Three Formats
Betting sites display odds in three ways: Decimal, Fractional and American. 6sixs generally uses the decimal format, but knowing all three is useful wherever you bet.
Example 1 — The Same Price in Three Forms
Say you bet ৳1,000 on Team A to win. The odds in three formats: Decimal 2.25 = Fractional 5/4 = American +125. If Team A wins, total return is ৳2,250 (৳1,250 profit + original ৳1,000 back); if they lose, ৳1,000 is gone.
Example 2 — Odds for the Favourite
If Team B is the favourite, the odds are lower: Decimal 1.25 = Fractional 1/4 = American -400. American minus odds mean you need to bet that amount to win 100. On a ৳1,000 bet the return is ৳1,250 (৳250 profit).
Higher odds mean the market considers a win less likely — but market odds and actual probability do not always match. Cricket betting is for entertainment — there is no guarantee of income through betting.
Multi Bet Example
If three separate selections have decimal odds of 1.40, 1.50 and 1.80, the combined odds are:
1.40 × 1.50 × 1.80 = 3.78
A ৳100 bet returns ৳378 — but if any one of the three loses, the full ৳100 is gone.
Team names and figures are for illustration only — they are not real odds or a promise of winnings.
Live Betting — How Odds Shift with Wickets and Overs
Betting while a match is in progress is called live or in-play betting. It is especially engaging in cricket because the situation changes with every ball.
When a wicket falls, the batting team's odds rise immediately. If runs are coming quickly in the powerplay, the over/under market odds drop. If the bowling side is delivering consecutive maiden overs, the opposite happens.
In Test matches, when the pitch starts breaking up or light fades due to rain, live odds can shift dramatically. Many people only start live betting after watching the match for a while first.

Practical Tips for Cricket Betting
-
Understand one market well. Start by focusing only on match winner or over/under. It is better not to bet on too many markets at once.
-
Check pitch conditions and weather. In Test matches especially, pitch conditions directly affect the odds. This information is available in the public domain.
-
Stick to your budget. Before each betting session, decide in your head the maximum amount you will spend. For multi bets, smaller stakes are wiser than large ones.
-
Do not rush in live betting. Odds change quickly, so it is important to stay calm. Take a moment to think before placing each bet.
-
Bet responsibly. Betting is a form of entertainment. You should not place larger bets to try to recover money you have lost. Detailed advice is available on the responsible gaming page.
Keep in Mind
Cricket betting is for entertainment — no strategy guarantees a win. For players aged 21 and over.
